Why We Train
9/13/2021
Since the very beginning of my training, I always had a strong feeling that the training was worthwhile. But I couldn't logically explain why. And that bothered me for thirty years. I'm not one to just go on a feeling. Yet I did for decades.
Over those thirty years, I have figured out why, beyond the possibility of saving your life aspect. In this talk, give a rough synopsis of at least part of the reasons I realized over the years. Observing for three decades showed me what my gut was...

Suppression and Censorship in the Martial Arts
1/15/2021
The martial arts have had a long history of suppression and censorship. This has led to literally hundreds or maybe even thousands of martial arts being lost. Completely erased.
These were ancient bodies of knowledge with great benefit to humanity. All gone except for a very few. All due to various forms of suppression and censorship. This episode will give you a look into how this was done and the results. At least from my limited and somewhat ignorant perspective.

That refers to the feeling in each individual beast. But there is a more generic form of it we can call "The Beast". If we train in the right way and with a good heart we can achieve it.
Dr Jordan Peterson often refers to being a monster under his own control. This is that. This is how that is achieved. It is a thing of immense personal...

Cobra Chi Gung - Lesson 1
6/19/2018
This is the first lesson in our Cobra Chi Gung course.
This is an ancient fighting art which was thought to be lost. At least that's what the history books say. Fortunately, it was not lost. Just safely hidden away.
The principles taught are the same principles taught in Shou' Shu' Cobra Kung Fu (Boli Yan Shi). However, in the Chi Gung course, there is less focus on application. Some understanding of application is necessary though, even if you are only interested in the health...

Sheng Chi Martial Arts - Episode 2
10/11/2014
In this episode we cover the definition of Shou' Shu'. This is not the definition typically given by Shou' Shu' practitioners but rather a broader look at what makes a given technique or motion Shou' Shu'.
In most cases we talk abotu Shou' Shu' as being a seven animal fighting art system. While this is absolutely true it does not truly define anything. The beast systems are simply unique ways or sub systems of Shou' Shu'. Each of the beast systems and the combined beast system that we...
